Hi,
Has anyone had their pouch disconnected and then reconnected again later on? Mine was disconnected and I currently have a loop illeostomy.

G-Day AJR, I had a J-Pouch for 18 years and could not wait to get rid of it, and no way would I ever go back to one. My Ileostomy is a life changer, I love it. Regards IGGIE

Good Evening Bob and All,
I checked my email and saw new postings. That's when I usually visit the site. I've recently met a few others who have developed UC and have made contact with them. I've directed them to this site. I also use the site to look up concerns they or I have. This site has been unusually helpful to me. I have seen questions and concerns of others posted. After I scroll down and see similar comments that I would make, I don't comment. As for social media interest, I have a Facebook account (due to work). As of this date, I have one Facebook Friend (and don't even know how that happened). I find the content here more relevant to my life. Then again, I'm old school. If I want to see how a friend is doing I just make a call.
Stay Safe and Sane all. Back to the hockey game,

Hello AJR
There would have to be a non surgical miracle solution before I would go back to a jpouch.
